• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been informed that, indeed, this does happen. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Marine Parks at Malindi have not been transferred to a private company. There are two parks in Malindi, namely, Malindi and Watamu Marine National Parks. The two occupy an area of six and 10 square kilometers of land and sea respectively. Since their gazettement in 1968, they have been under the management of the relevant bodies mandated to conserve wildlife in Kenya and, currently, that body is the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). (b) Malindi Marine Park, therefore, remains under the custody of my Ministry on behalf of the Kenyan public. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I may need to verify the document that has been tabled, I want to state here categorically that there are two parks in Malindi. As I have said, they are intact. We have another two reserves, namely Watamu Marine National Reserve and Malindi/Watamu Marine National Reserve. The Malindi/Watamu Marine National Park is under boundary plot No.204/39, and was gazetted under legal notice No.98 of 26th June, 1968. Watamu Marine Park is No.204/43, also gazzetted under Legal Notice No.98 of 26th June, 1968. However, the KWS has other eight plots outside the gazzetted national parks, and the ... view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I would appreciate more time to look at that document, the two national parks in Malindi under the KWS are protected. But we have eight other plots that are not within the national parks, and some of them are under a lease agreement. If that is what the document refers to, then it possibly could be. Let me have time to peruse this document then I will respond. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you gave me time to look at the documents tabled by Ms. Karua. I can certify that the copies of the documents are indeed authentic. I want to repeat that the two national parks we have in Malindi; Malindi Marine National Park and Watamu Marine Park are intact. The documents presented relate to a plot of land that had been purchased in 1969 by the trustees of the National Parks of Kenya. It forms part of the three plots where the Malindi Marine National Park has its headquarters. The trustees of the National Parks of Kenya took ... view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may not confirm or deny that. But this is something I may need to check again and bring an answer. But I know that in the monthly renewable lease agreement, there is a certain fee that has been agreed upon between the leasee and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). This money is retained within the KWS for its operations. It does constitute the estimates that are normally provided to this House for approval every annual year when the Budget Estimates are presented. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think I have already agreed to what she was saying, but I have said that the land that has been leased is not part of the national park. Malindi Marine National Park is not under boundary plot No.204/39 which was registered under Legal Notice No.98 of 26th June, 1968, but this particular plot of land was acquired by the trustees of the National Parks of Kenya in 1969. Within the law, view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that is a legitimate question. I will bring to the House the lease agreement pertaining to this and also table a list indicating the annual fees the KWS has earned out of this and what projects and operations that money that has been collected has been utilized for. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Mr. Nyae Mbega Kalinga of ID No.6723331 was attacked by an elephant on 1st June, 2009 but not on 27th December, 2009 at around 9.00 a.m., while on his way to Mugalani Shopping Centre. (b) Compensation for the injuries suffered by Mr. Kalinga amounting to Kshs50,000 will be released by my office to the District Commissioner, Kwale District, in the month of December, 2010 for subsequent payment to the claimant. view
